DAVIS TO OPEN . MISSOURI DRIVE Savory Barbecue Beef Lures Democratic Chief, By United Press EASTWOOD FARMS, BUNCETON, Mo., Sept. 15.—Hunger pangs seized John W. Davis, Democratic presidential candidate, today as he sniffed a redolent odor that filled the air about the farm house of Dr. Arthur W. Nelson, Democratic nominee for Governor. The smell that made Davis think of dinner time was savory barbecued beef—tons of It sizzling in three great pits in the grove where Missouri democracy was gathered to hear the party standard bearer start the State campaign with a bang. Long before the special train bearing Davis arrived from Kansas City, where he rested Sunday, the roads leading to the Nelson farm six miles from the railroad were jammed with vehicles and the estimates of a 40,000 crowd apparently were not exaggerated. Davis is to speak at 10:30 a. m.

MY OWN STORY LA FOLLETTE SPEAKS 19 HOURS ON CURRENCY BELL
“MY OWN STORY" is an exclusive newspaper version of one of the grreat autobiographies of modern times; La Follettes own story of adventures in politics as written by himself in 1012. together with an authorized narrative of his experiences in tha years since then. SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS INSTALLMENTS After years spent m fighting the political bosses in the House of Representatives and later as governor of Wisconsin. La Follette is elected to the Senate in 1905. At Washington as in Wisconsin, he discovers the machine poliitelans combating progressive legislation Some of his earliest battles in the Senate are fought against thg railroad interests. The progresive group grows during the fight on the PayneAldrich tariff bill. For two years La Follette awaits an opportunity to offerhis amendment providing for the valuation of railroads as a basis for establishing reasonable rates. Now the Aidrich emergency currency bill is before * the Senate. This” opportunity now presents,l itself m connection with the emergency currency bill. I promptly offered an amendment providing that the Secretary of the Treasury should be authorized to accept railroad bonds as security for the emergency currency issue oniy after the Interstate Commerce Commission had ascertained the value of the properties of the railroads, upon which the bonds in question constituted a first mortgage; and provided further that no such railroad bonds should be accepted unless the value of the property of the railroad company were found to be ample security for such bonds. Offering of the amendment produced a flutter of excitement. Disgust and consternation were plainly manifest. For two years they had been able to deny me a vote in the Senate on the valuation of railway property and the reactionary Senators had learned to fear being placed on record with roll calls. And here I was rudely thrusting this troublesome proposition upon them 'n violation of all the regulations governing “senatorial courtesy.” I had announced that on March 17 I would address the Senate on the pending bill, and in that connection would oppose the railroad bonds provision. Thirty minutes before I was to .begin my argument on that day Sena- ; tor Aldrich arose and informed the | Senate he was directed by the Committee on Finance to withdraw from the bill all that portion of it relating to railway bonds! But if it was Mr. Aldrich’s purpose to avoid a discussion of his plan to make railroad bonds a security for currency issue he failed. For in opening my argument I referred to the announcement of Senator Aldrich, and predicted that at some later stage in the course of the legislation that same provision would ! again make its appearance in the I bill. Shows Monopoly Therefore I covered in my argument the railroad bonds provision ; and discussed it thoroughly. I presented facts to show that 75 per /rent of the railroad bonds which would be affected by the provision were held by banks in New England and eas**rn States, and only 25 per cent distributed throughout the West, Middle West and South. With its highly organized banking system the entitre holdings would be at the command of the big group | banks. In course of my argument I wa also able to demonstrate that legis iation wou,d operate to place the money trust in a position to control for their own advantage any issue of emergency currency. When Government bonds were made the basis for national bank issues, it was avowedly for the purpose of enhancing their market value. It had that effect. It would have a like effect upon railroad, municipal and other bonds. It tvould be difficult to conceive of a better way to boom the market for railroad bonds than to put behind them the mandate of the law, compelling national banks to go into the market and bid for thme. 1 Could anything be conceived by the ingenuity of man that would more quickly enhance the price of railroad bonds held by a limited number cf speculative banks and by a few capitalists, or better promote certain great related interests? In the course of my speech on • c emergency currency bill I showed clearly how the industrial and bank ing interests are closely controlled by a small group of financiers. I asserted that fewer than 100 men control the great business interest of the country. The following day the great newspapers of the country, with very rare exceptions, denied my statements and denounced me as a demagogue. The Review of Reviews editorially characterized my utterances as sensational and much to be regretted. A few days later I replied to my critics and out of the Directories of 'Directors and other record data proved my assertions, and demonstrated that, in fact, less than a dozen men control the business of the country—indeed, that Standard Oil and Morgan are the real business kings of America.
In a way the public had understood the railroads had consolidated and even that the great manufacturing corporations of the country had combined to control production and prices. But I think I may say that never before March, 1908, had the facts been brought together in any discussion in Congress. I then demonstrated through an analysis of the directorates that the railroads, telegraph, shipping, street car and interurban lines, cable, telephone, express, mining, iron, coal, oil, gas, electric light, manufacturing, steel, agricultural implements, machinery of all kinds, cotton, woolens, tobacco, sugar and the food products are completely controlled and mainly owned by a small group of men. Statement Proven I was very much interested and rot a little gratified a few years later to have the statements I made in 1908. as applied to the control of capita! and credit, cocrrobrated dv the president of one of the largest banks in the United States—George M. Reynolds of the Continental and Commercial Bank of Chicago. On Dec. 13, 1911, he was a speaker at the somewhat exclusive banquet of the National Business League of America.
“ By ROBERT M. LA FOLLETTELA FOLLETTE ADDRESSES THE SENATE. It was a company of bankers, a financial family gathering, as it were. Mr. Reynolds said: “I believe the money power now lies in the hands of a dozen men. I plead guilty to being one, in the last analysis, of those men.” Withdrawal of the railroad bond provision by Aldrich before I began my speech on the currency bill pievented, as he intended it should, any plan on my part to force the consideration of railroad valuation, and on March 27, 1908, by a vote of 42 to 16, the bill passed the Senate. The only Republicans who voted against it were Boah, Bourne, Brown and La Follette. In the House the Vreeland bill was substituted for the Aldrich bill.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
and the whole matter was finally thrown into conference. At an early meeting the conference committee announced that an agreement between the two houses was utterly impossible and that therefore no bill could be passed. I did not place great reliance upon the statement issued. I could not believe the interests would permit the session to close without another effort to carry out their plans, but Congress and the country' generally accepted the statement with expressions of general satisfaction mat the whole matter should go over to a later period, when something of substantial merit might be secured. For many weeks not a word was heard from this committee on conference, and then suddenly on May 27, three days btriore adjournment, this measure of vital importance was thrust upon the consideration of Congress in the form of a conference report, which might be debated but could not be amended in any respect. Upon examing the measure it was clearly apparent the bill was in, no respect better than the bill which had passed the Senate, and m many particulars it was infinitely worse. As I had predicted, the railroad bonds provision had been restored to the bill, but buiied under an obscure phrase. The bill also contained an in famous provision which permitted the use of bonds as security for currency at less than par value. Seeks Aid I determined to resist the passage of the emergency currency bill I felt assured that with assistance of three or four other Senators I could j protract the discussion until the rankly objectionable features of the measure would elicit such a protest from independent bankers and business men of the country as would compel Congress radically to amend or to defeat it. I sought for help among the few

recently elected Republican Senators, but found them timid about joining me in the undertaking. I then resolved to make the best opposition I could to the measure and extend the debate in the hope that some Democratic Senator or Senators might later come to my assistance. Before the conference report was called up for action in the Senate I was assured by Senators Gore and Stone that one or the other of them would take the floor when I concluded, Stone saying that he would speak for five or six hours against the bill and Gore agreeing to follow Stone for at least two hours. The conference report having been called up shortly before 12 o’clock, May 29, I very soon thereafter obtained the floor and began my discussion of its most objectionable provisions, which I continued for the balance of the afternoon, throughout the night and until 7 o’clock on the morning of May 30, having spoken nineteen hours without surrendering the floor.
